Features:
Bradford White is ISO registered to the
9001- standard.
■ 2" Non-CFC foam insulation—completely covers the side and
top of tank, saving energy by retarding loss of heat.
■ Vitraglas®lining—Bradford White water heater tanks are
protected from the corrosive effects of hot water by an
exclusive ceramic porcelain-like coating. The Bradford White
high silica Vitraglas®lining provides a tough interior surface for
our water heater tanks.
■ Protective magnesium anode rod—provides added protection
against corrosion for long trouble-free service.
■ Factory installed dielectric waterway fittings—all heaters
equipped with special water heater nipples for longer heater life.
■ Factory installed Hydrojet®Total Performance System—cold
inlet sediment reducing device. Helps prevent sediment build up
in tank. Increases first hour delivery of hot water while
minimizing temperature build up at top of tank.
■ T&P relief valve opening—all models have special tapping on
side of tank.
■ Brass drain valve.
■ Collector Supply and Return—alternate locations are standard
and available on the 80 and 119 gallon (303 and 450 liter)
models only.
■ Thermal Feet—unique design provides complete tank isolation.
Prevents thermal conduction through bottom of tank.
■ Pre-wired sensor lead—from storage sensor mounting stud to
top of tank.
■ Equipped with a 4500 watt heating element and automatic
thermostat—where a back-up system is desired.
■ Six year limited warranty on steel tank—heavy gauge steel
automatically formed, rolled and welded to assure a continuous
seam for glass lining.
■ Six year limited warranty on parts.
